OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Reclearance of an
Expiring Information Collection: OMB Control No. 3206-0106; Form INV
10, ``Mail Reinterview Form''

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104-13), this notice announces that the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for re-clearance of an expiring information collection,
Mail Reinterview Form (INV 10), OMB Control No. 3206-0106. OPM sends
the INV 10 questionnaire to a random sampling of record and personal
sources contacted during background investigations when investigators
have performed fieldwork. The INV 10 is used as a quality control
instrument designed to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the
investigative product, as it inquires of the sources about the
investigative procedure employed by the investigator, the
investigator's professionalism, and the information discussed and
reported.
    It is estimated that 114,000 INV 10 forms are sent to individual
sources annually. Of those, it is estimated that 50,000 individuals
respond. We anticipate sending and receiving a similar number of INV 10
forms in the years ahead. Each form takes approximately six minutes to
complete. The estimated annual burden is 5,000 hours.
    We received no comments as a result of the 60-day Federal Register
Notice, published in the Federal Register on June 19, 2008. Therefore,
we determined that this collection of information continues to be
necessary for the proper performance of functions of the U.S. Office of
Personnel Management and its Federal Investigative Services Division,
which administers its background investigations. Further, we maintain
that our estimate of the public burden of this collection is accurate,
based on valid assumptions and methodology. The existing reinterview
questionnaire addresses all of the questions relevant to ensure the
accuracy and integrity of the investigative product at this time.
